View 0 RepliesI use this code to load XML im Flash:
Sample XML file:
<playlist>
<track>
<title>TestTrack 1</title>

Here everything is alright, but I would like to do more than just trace the results. I would like to store the results in an object or an array and access it from other functions.
how to store XML data if I want to use it from other functions?
I'm trying to make my portfolio XML-driven. What I'm trying to do is similiar to a photogallery. The difference is that I want "sub pictures" to every item in the gallery. Example: If I click on a project name in the portfolio an image should appear. Then I want to be able to browse between different images within that project. When I click on a another project a different set of pictures will be loaded.My XML file looks as exemplified below. What I'm having troubles figuring out how to do is getting the array right.I want to access the data something like this:
imageArray[0].path[1] would return "http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg"
imageArray[0].title returns "Title A"
I fail to parse the XML into an multidimensional array like this..
<images><item title="Title A"><pic path="http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg">
<desc>First A picture</desc>
</pic>[code].....
I can load the xml, but I'm having trouble parsing it.
Code:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

What would the variable name be to get to the start of the image names?
IE: this.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue

what if u want to parse a whole html table into flash and turn each colunm into an actionscript 3 array? flash doesnt know how many rows the table has, but i could print the number of rows in the same page as the html table, and make it parse the number of rows from the same page after a urlrequest the first step is to probably make a php page with my database splayed out as a table, maybe with
---- row1col1=dan row1col2=jenson row2col1=jen row2col2=dennings-------
numrows=2 and so on as table entries, and then have flash urlrequest the page i can do that, but i dont know how to parse each column into an actionscript 3 array but it only shows how to parse one value, not a whole array:[URL]
i've been reading that XML/E4X is very slow with AVM2 / ActionScript 3.when supplying an application with XML data, is it always generally a better idea to parse the XML object into an array of objects to call rather than using E4X with the stock XML data?
View 2 RepliesGoal: load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. Problem: I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML.onLoad function.

I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...
I have a 3rd party programme which generates the xml file below, and it re-writes the xml file every time a new message is received by that 3rd party programme. What I'm trying to do is find a way to read in the relevant flashvars (if that's the right term) into a flash file (basically I want to read in messages 1 - 6), ignore the rest of the xml, display the messages and then re-load the xml about every 30 seconds (in case it's changed). I guess this is pretty much like a news reader of sorts, but I don't have any control over the structure of the xml file, so if someone could point me in the right sort of direction, then I'm happy to have a go at learning. I did try messing with a basic news reader flash file that I downloaded, but it didn't seem to like the xml - I guess because each message in the xml has its own number?[code]...

View 3 RepliesWhat I want to do is make a get request to this URL: [url]... which should return some JSON and then parse out certain information from it.
How would I go about doing this in Actionscript 3? I'm more concerned with figuring out how to get the data to feed to a JSON parser rather than parsing the JSON, since there seem to be plenty of questions about parsing JSON. The reason I want to do this in AS3 is that I have a 3D flash visualization set up and I want to get this data, parse out the relevant bits, and then display the parsed bits in the visualization.
Do you know is there a open-source hkz16 ActionScript parser?
View 2 RepliesI use javascript to play a flash file, and it plays correctly. But it also needs to parse some configuration files in the flash default directory. So the problem is: the flash file I am going to play can't access its config file for the wrong working directory.
For example, I specify the swf path value as 'falsh/list/test.swf', so my javascript will give this swf value by swfobject.embedSWF to play this flash. But the flash file flash/list/test.swf needs to parse a config file in the same directory with flash file like flash/list/config.xml. The problem is flash attempts to parse this config file under the current javascript working directory.

I have a reproducible error: I am being forced to fix corrupted flash files that give the "Flash can not parse this document" error. But shortly after I fix the problem, the files are re-corrupted.
Here is how the problem is reproduced: when I update a custom component that is used in other symbols in the library. When a new version of a custom component symbol added to the library, replacing an older version, the symbols that contained the old symbol are corrupted in the XML. This is tedious and time consuming to work around.
I'm attempting to parse newlines from pasted text from the clipboard into a single-lined TextField. I'd like to replace the newlines with ' ' (or any other delimiter) in the text field and have it submit text with newlines (' ' delimiter would suffice, as that's automatically parsed within my message box already).
Is there any method I could use to go about this?
how do i do that? we have a database (microsoft sql) that i want to pull information from. our goal is to have a user click on one of these parts in this diagram
and have it open this window
all of that information is in our database and right now it is parsed to an .xml file. but i would rather parse it to the database instead. is this possible? i dont know what to do, and i cant find anything online. what script do i use to parse it?
i'm using flash cs4 on a mac os 10.5.8
Is it possible to make code in actionscript-3 to parse the virtual directories that are constructed in the flash library?

View 2 RepliesI need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.
I am trying to parse a string. It involves a huge for loop.

I am developing an isometric rpg engine in flash AS3. I have decided to separate the engine code completely from the game data, which is in xml. So I have all the maps in xml files, all the quests and npcs etc. My question is when to parse the xml into actual Actionscript code. Should I do this at the start of every play session? Should I only parse the maps as they are called? This is like start up code. For example, I want to parse every tile into a tile object, then draw it to the map. Also, I want to parse the quests in the xml into quest objects so that they can be accessed by other code. So, when should I do this??
